What color is Benjamin Moore Pumpernickel?

Benjamin Moore Pumpernickel 2102-20 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable muted red cast that keeps it from reading flat or blackened. Its #754C40 color value gives it a warm, grounded presence, especially in rooms with natural wood, brick, or aged leather. In bright daylight, the brown can show more of its clay-like warmth, while lower or cooler light may make it appear deeper and more subdued. Use Pumpernickel on a dining room wall, library shelving, or cabinetry where a substantial darker color feels appropriate. It pairs well with creamy off-whites, warm beige, dusty terracotta, and natural materials such as oak, walnut, linen, and burnished brass.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 9.85%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
